While RPI isn't especially helpful for individual teams yet, we have enough of a sample size to get something from conference RPI. So far, the MAC has a winning record against D-I (31-25) and looks like a decent association this year. I was very, very pessimistic about the conference this season, so this is better than what I anticipated. Some teams (Akron, Buffalo) still have room to grow, so I expect us to be in the 12-15 range for much of the season.

Listened to Balls get killed by Cleveland State while at the Muncie Central game. Down 7 at half and got blown out the 2nd. Not sure where Cl St is projected to be in the league but Balls is gonna be in the middle of ours. Disheartening after playing Butler pretty tough to a close loss.
